Strengths

This book covers the topics of racial injustice in the 1930s, I liked everything about this book even though the plot isn't real nor is it based on a true story but still, it feels like something that could happen today, I learned so much about racism and injustice in the system people were treated differently and torched simply because of their skin color it doesn't really make sense to me, and the worst part is that its still a a major issue to this day.

Weaknesses:

There is no weaknesses to this story, but the ending was devastating and really heartbreaking the farm was burnet down the lagans lost everything and there isn't anything they could do.

My Opinion:

I really loved this novel and i personally learned so ,much just by reading the first few chapters of it , so its really educational and really realistic which makes it so much better and unique.
